Aims: To establish a system based on hyperspectral imaging and deep learning for the detection of cancer cells in metastatic lymph nodes.
Main Methods: The continuous sections of metastatic lymph nodes from 45 oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients were collected. An improved ResUNet algorithm was established for deep learning to analyze the spectral curve differences between cancer cells and lymphocytes, and that between tumor tissue and normal tissue.
Key Findings: It was found that cancer cells, lymphocytes, and erythrocytes in the metastatic lymph nodes could be distinguished basing hyperspectral image, with overall accuracy (OA) as 87.30% and average accuracy (AA) as 85.46%. Cancerous area could be recognized by hyperspectral image and deep learning, and the average intersection over union (IOU) and accuracy were 0.6253 and 0.7692, respectively.
Significance: This study indicated that deep learning-based hyperspectral techniques can identify tumor tissue in OSCC metastatic lymph nodes, achieving high accuracy of pathological diagnosis, high work efficiency, and reducing work burden. But these are preliminary results limited to a small sample.

Objectives: To assess the usefulness of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) in patients with early-stage oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).
Materials And Methods: Seventy-five patients (mean age 62 years) diagnosed with cT1-2 N0 underwent SLNB with Tc, lymphoscintigraphy/SPECT-CT, and gamma probe detection with intraoperative histological examination of the resected sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs). Elective neck dissection was performed during the same surgical procedure of primary tumor resection when malignant deposits were detected microscopically.

The patient was a 21-year-old man with a shadow on a chest roentgenogram taken during a medical checkup. According to blood testing, thoracoabdominal computed tomography, head magnetic resonance imaging, and lung tumor biopsy, we diagnosed a primary retroperitoneal germ cell tumor with multiple lung and brain metastases. Induction chemotherapy (4 courses of Bleomycin, Etoposide and Cisplatin) was started immediately.

To understand the clinicopathological and molecular genetic characteristics of aggressive renal mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma (MTSCC). The clinical features, histology, immunophenotype, molecular characteristics and prognosis of 4 cases of metastatic/recurrent renal MTSCC that were submitted to the Peking University Third Hospital (2 cases), Institute of Urology, Peking University (one case) and Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital (one case) from 2015 to 2020 were retrospectively reviewed and analyzed. Among the four patients, two were male and two were female.

Microplastics (MP) with a diameter of less than 150 μm can enter the lymph and bloodstream systems, induce cellular toxicity and damage DNA. G-quadruplexes (GQs) are tetraplex DNA secondary structures found in the human genomes that play important roles in replication, transcription and genomic integrity. Comprehending the biological and molecular processes underlying the activities of MPs could aid in estimating potential hazards to humans.

Objectives: Recent literature has provided additional data to further individualize treatment recommendations on regional nodal irradiation (RNI) patient selection and delivery techniques, but controversies surrounding optimal RNI utilization remain, including radiation technique, modality selection, and internal mammary lymph node (IMN) inclusion. The American Radium Society (ARS) Breast Appropriate Use Criteria (AUC) Committee performed a systematic review and developed a consensus guideline to summarize recent data and provide evidence-based recommendations.
Methods: A multidisciplinary panel comprised of 15 members representing radiation oncologists, medical oncologists, and surgical oncologists specializing in the treatment of breast cancer conducted an analysis of the medical literature from January 1, 2011 to April 1, 2024.
